hi I'm Sophie and welcome to my world and today I'm gonna give you a great
Mother's Day idea that you can make as a present for your mom you're gonna make
her a fabulous painting using a squeegee that's right we're not gonna use a
paintbrush for our painting we're gonna use a squeegee it's super fun and the
results are pretty fantastic if you ask me so I'm gonna show you how to make
this amazing squeegee art right now for this project you'll need a small
prepared canvas or heavy weight paper like watercolor paper or cardstock
acrylic paint squeegee disposable work surface
duct tape parchment paper paper towels moist towelettes scissors and optional
sticker jewels I'm going to take two strips of duct tape and I'm using Eagles
tape for my beloved husband's football team that won the Super Bowl this year
whoo-hoo and I've laid two strips I've overlapped the two and now I'm going to
make them into a heart sticker and all I'm gonna do is fold this in half
and just cut up and over and make myself a heart I'm going to take this and I'm
going to put it right in the center of my canvas
I want to make sure that I have lots and lots of space around by canvas so that I
do not get this messy paint all over shake a paint up really good and if you
find that when you open it up this is acrylic paint and it has if it ever gets
like clogged up in here just use one of those little stir sticks there those
little teeny straws that you get at the supermarket or you can get them at like
a coffee shops what I want to do here this is important is lay some paint
right along the edge of the top where I'm going to be squeegeeing down then I
just want to kind of have fun and go to town and just squeeze paint little blobs
all over wherever I want now acrylic paints are not washable but you can use
like those children's paints as well it works as well too just sometimes the
colors aren't quite as vibrant now here comes the fun part we're gonna use our
squeegee so put your squeegee all the way at the end hold your canvas so that
it's not going to shift and just squeegee down
you're painting just like that and pull it away from the extra paint and then
you can wipe off that edge there then just let it dry really good I've learned
that if you come back and squeegee over it even with a clean squeegee it kind of
starts to muddy it so even though there's some tiny little white spots up
there I'm gonna just leave it because I think that this looks super super nice
let me show you I think that looks really pretty this is fully dry and this
is what I mean about if you come back with your squeegee sometimes it gets a
little bit muddy and that's why I've learned if you can get it with
one good squeegee you're better off so practice with some
paper until you're ready now I'm just gonna take my sticker this is fully dry
this is dried overnight and I just pull off that heart now this one got a little
bit of a bleed underneath it but that's okay because I'm gonna come back with my
pretty little jewels and I'm gonna make my heart I love these jewels because
these jewels have like a a backing that you can just they come off in a strip
and they have a backing that you can just rip off as much as you need and
they're really flexible so you just go follow this around
like this and I can cover up that little bloop right there that's a few little
extra jewels right there so see you can fill it in and you will never even know
that there was a bloop right there and there you have it you're super cool
squeegee art for Mother's Day I remember you could even write mom or I love you
or whatever else you wanted to put in there for more fun ideas on how to
